The Raiders have officially become the Tom Brady Show. Forget Mark Davis, forget the fans, forget the team’s history – it’s all about Brady now. This Pete Carroll hire is just the latest proof.
Sure, Carroll is a respected coach with a Super Bowl ring, but let’s be real, he’s 73 years old! He’s not the long-term answer in Las Vegas. This is all about Brady using Carroll as a puppet to implement HIS vision for the team.
Brady wants to win now, and he wants to do it his way. He’s hand-picking the coaches, he’s influencing personnel decisions, and he’s basically running the show from behind the scenes. This isn’t about what’s best for the Raiders, it’s about what’s best for Brady’s ego.
And don’t be fooled by this talk of a succession plan. Brady doesn’t care about the future of the Raiders. He’ll be long gone by the time Carroll retires, leaving the team in shambles. This is a power grab, plain and simple. Brady wants to control the Raiders, and he’s using Carroll as a stepping stone to get there.
